Block #10, time to build a forest, are you ready?
The Christmas Fig Book is Required
The Red & Green is just like the quilt in the book.
I am doing the tips with Something Blue Fabric as I make a 2nd quilt
TIPS for Making the Blue version
- I tossed in an extra blue fabric again this time to make it scrappy.
- I also used one less white, going with just 2
- IMPORTANT - I cut just what is needed. I do not subcut as the book does because my fabric is not an exact substitution for the red/green quilt in the book. I don't want to waste any fabric
TIPS
- Mark your cut shapes to keep track. The alphabitties are perfect as they have numbers and letters to match the book. I keep a package with my fabric for this project.
- use a Design board to keep things in order.You can also pin into it!
Pat's Tips
- I put the side with the most intersections to hit on top.
- I also open seams and line them up prior to pinning
